Did a job years ago for my brother in law panelling underneath and around the staircase. Pure nightmare. He was so tight he even complained about having to buy more material. Did charge him at a seriously low price which he complained at that as well. Only job i did for them. Was happy when my sister finally divorced him

Not just a plasterer, but a master craftsman. Love your attention to detail and work ethic.

My dad used to be a builder bricky. During school holidays I went on site with him. I was always so proud of him and the attention to details. He often worked with a plasterer and a sparkly. Watching you takes me back to those days when he worked and watched him with a proud son. This was the 70s no health and safety, but I learnt a lesson of attention to detail and accuracy. Thanks for reminding me of my father RIP.

If you work for them, they slag you off saying "he could of been cheaper", if you don't work for them-and they get PROPERLY mugged off by another builder, they slag you off.NO WIN.

none of my family were builders so i couldn't learn from them and i went to building college in the early 80s to learn plastering as an apprentice... toward the end of my apprenticeship i was taught fibrous plastering, to run cornice in situ, cement run skirtings, window mouldings etc ... it was the best part of my apprenticeship ... i loved it....injury eventually ended my plastering days as a full time earner but ive loved putting those skills to work on my own homes, my childrens and hopefully my grand children if i live that long

As an apprentice joiner in the 60's, I wish I had a tenner for every time we put a suspended ceiling in, to hide this sort of coving. It was sacrilege, but all the rage at the time.
